What is the difference between Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion? Also any examples of them

Chemistry
1 answer:
stealth61 [152]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Hiya there!

Explanation:

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

For example, uranium can fission to yield strontium and krypton. Fusion joins atomic nuclei together. The element formed has more neutrons or more protons than that of the starting material. For example, hydrogen and hydrogen can fuse to form helium.

<em><u>Hope this helped!</u></em> :D

The formula of an iodate of lanthanum is la(io3)3. what is the formula of the sulfate of lanthanum with the same oxidation numbe
sammy [17]

Iodate has a charge of -1, this means its chemical symbol must be IO3(-1) while Lanthanum is La(+3). Therefore making the compound La(IO3)3.

However sulfate has a chemical symbol of SO4(-2), it has charge of -2, therefore the formula for lanthanum sulfate is:

<span>La2(SO4)<span>3</span></span>

What is the pH of 0.26 M ammonium ion? NH4+(aq) + H2O(1) NH3(aq) + H30* (aq) a. 4.33 b.9.25 c. 3.87 d. 4.92 e. 4.75
choli [55]

Answer:

b) pH = 9.25

Explanation:

  • NH4+(aq)  +  H2O(l)  ↔  NH3(aq)  +  H3O+(aq)
  • NH3 + H2O ↔ NH4+  +  OH-
  • 2 H2O ↔ H3O+  +  OH-

⇒ Kb = [ NH4+ ] * [ OH- ] / [ NH3 ] = 1.86 E-5......from literature

mass balance NH4+:

⇒ M NH4+ = [ NH4+ ] - [ OH- ]

∴ [ NH3 ] ≅ M NH4+ = 0.26 M

⇒ Kb = (( 0.26 + [ OH- ] )) * [ OH- ] / 0.26 = 1.86 E-5

⇒ 0.26 [ OH-] + [ OH- ]² = 4.836 E-6

⇒ [ OH- ]² + 0.26 [ OH- ] - 4.836 E-6 = 0

⇒ [ OH- ] = 1.859 E-5 M

⇒ pOH = - Log ( 1.859 E-5 )

⇒ pOH = 4.7305

⇒ pH = 14 - pOH = 9.269
